4th and Long premieres tonight

With no NBA playoff games scheduled, Michael Irvin’s reality show couldn’t have picked a better night to make its debut.

Premiering at 9 p.m. tonight on Spike TV (Channel 59 on Time Warner’s San Antonio lineup), “4th and Long” features 12 amateurs vying for a spot on the Cowboys training camp roster. The series lasts 10 episodes and features six WRs and six DBs going through drills directed by Irvin, who will be assisted by former Cowboys DB Bill Bates and former special teams coach Joe Avezzano.

The winner will no doubt be a fan favorite at the Alamodome this summer.
